Check Out the Staffing World Highlight Reel

ASA offers special thanks to everyone who experienced Staffing World®, the ASA annual convention and expo last month. Staffing industry professionals convened in a state-of-the-art virtual reality environment and attended powerful keynote presentations and breakout sessions.

They also made valuable connections in the virtual coffee house, sponsored by PandoLogic, and in the expo hall, which showcased 54 elite exhibitors and sponsoring companies. Check out all these standout solution providers and a fun, fast-paced recap video at virtualSW20.net. (You will be prompted for your email address, but the site is open to all.)

We look forward to seeing everyone next year at Staffing World 2021, scheduled to take place Sept. 28–30 in Denver.
